The combination of the lush tropical greenery of the surrounding hills and age old volcanic peaks surrounding the turquoise blue waters of Savusavu Bay, make one feel as though discovering Fiji's "hidden paradise" is a very personal experience.
Often called "The Friendly North", one immediately notices the warmth & friendliness of the people on the streets of Savusavu that often gives that feeling of coming "home". Savusavu is home to a diverse group of Fijians, Indo-Fijians and Europeans giving this little town a feeling of community.
Big smiles and the Fijian greeting "Bula!" is common as you walk along main street whether you are a local or a tourist. Savusavu's easy living atmosphere and friendliness attracts a wide group of ex-patriots from all over the world. Some are "snowbirds" escaping winter for a few months at a time while many others choose to live full time in this island paradise. It is quite common to meet people who have sailed into Savusavu Bay on their boat and decide to stay permanently. Savusavu has that effect on people. Surprisingly, this small town has a lot to offer as it continues to grow and becomes a well known destination for investors and tourists.
